Here we are again with the second round of this dynamic best friend Senior Special, this time featuring Cassidy! I cannot reiterate how perfect these two were for this session! But what's even better than her stunning looks is her personality. Cassidy was not just a great model but an all-around awesome person. She has an infectious smile that made the entire session feel like a breeze. Seriously, she had this glow that just lit up every shot I took!

Mother Nature herself decided to throw us a party for this stunning session. What are those beautiful leaves in the backdrop you ask? Japanese Maple trees, and HOLY COW their leaves are beautiful as they change for the fall. As Cassidy posed among the Japanese Maples and twirled in the Queen's Ann Lace, I couldn't help but feel like I was photographing an absolute superstar. And trust me, she made my job as a photographer feel like a piece of cake. Her natural charm, warmth, and willingness to experiment with different poses and angles made every shot a winner.

I'm obsessed with how her hair looks so perfectly golden in the sun! We explored the nursery from top to bottom, trying out various settings and backgrounds. Cassidy was up for anything and everything, and it truly reflected in the final photos. She was even down for crawling up onto a cart of flowers for me, and I love how it turned out! We managed to capture not just her outer beauty but also her vibrant personality, which is what senior sessions are all about, right?

The indoor nursery setting added a unique touch to our session. Surrounded by vibrant plants and the soft glow of sunlight streaming in, it created the perfect backdrop for Cassidy's senior photos. The greenery and natural light added an enchanting feel to the whole shoot. I couldn't have asked for a better location! A HUGE shout out to both nurseries in Lebanon, OR that let us crash their grounds for the evening! They were great hosts!
